Effects of migratory animals on resident parasite dynamics
Trends Ecol Evol. 2024 Feb 13:S0169-5347(24)00019-3. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2024.01.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMigratory animals can bring parasites into resident animal (i.e., non-migratory) home ranges (transport effects) and exert trophic effects that either promote or reduce parasite exposure to resident hosts. Here, we examine the importance of these transport and trophic effects and their interactions for resident parasite dynamics. We propose that migrant transport and trophic effects are impacted by the number of migratory animals entering a resident's home range (migration intensity), the amount of time that ...

Beyond reporting: proactive strategies for safer scientific fieldwork

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFieldwork is crucial for science but poses heightened risks of gender-based harassment and assault. Current practices prioritize post-incident reporting, despite the demonstrated potential of preventive approaches.

Linking biodiversity, ecosystem function, and Nature's contributions to people: a macroecological energy flux perspective
Trends Ecol Evol. 2024 Feb 2:S0169-5347(24)00004-1. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2024.01.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAt macroecological scales, the provision of Nature's contributions to people (NCP) is mostly estimated with biophysical information, ignoring the ecological processes underlying them. This hinders our ability to properly quantify the impact of declining biodiversity and the provision of NCP. Here, we propose a framework that combines local-scale food web energy flux approaches and large-scale biodiversity models to evaluate ecosystem functions and flux-related NCP at extensive spatiotemporal scales. Importantl...

Ghosts of extinct apes: genomic insights into African hominid evolution
Trends Ecol Evol. 2024 Jan 31:S0169-5347(23)00347-6. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.12.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe are accustomed to regular announcements of new hominin fossils. There are now some 6000 hominin fossils, and up to 31 species. However, where are the announcements of African ape fossils? The answer is that there are almost none. Our knowledge of African ape evolution is based entirely on genomic analyses, which show that extant diversity is very young. This contrasts with the extensive and deep diversity of hominins known from fossils. Does this difference point to low and late diversification of ape line...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCurrent reductionist approaches to environmental governance cannot resolve social-ecological crises. Siloed institutions fail to address linked social and ecological processes, thereby neglecting issues of equity, justice, and cumulative effects. Global insights can be gained from Indigenous-led initiatives that support the resilience of relationships within and among places.PMID:38278702 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2024.01.001 (Source: Trends in Ecology and Evolution)
